          Appeal No. 98-1458                                        Page 13           
          Application No. 08/499,211                                                  


          Claims 13, 15, 16, 20 through 24 and 26                                     
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 13, 15, 16,              
          20 through 24 and 26 is reversed since the limitations of                   
          their respective independent claims (i.e., claim 11 or claim                
          17) are not suggested by the teachings of the applied prior                 
          art.  In that regard, none of the applied prior art (i.e.,                  
          Godes, King and Hinds) would have suggested the three rib                   
          walls as recited in claim 11 or the prefabricated building                  
          module as recited in claim 17.                                              


          Claim 10                                                                    
               The decision of the examiner to reject claim 10 is                     
          reversed since the "overlapping serpentine shape" of the hook-              
          like projection is not suggested by the teachings of the                    
          applied prior art.  In that regard, none of the applied prior               
          art (i.e., Godes, King and Hinds) would have suggested the                  
          "overlapping serpentine shape" of the hook-like projection as               
          recited in claim 10.
